*Read Recent Updates Below* During racing season the horse track is the only excitement and entertainment. The casino sucks ! Update 12/18/20 the slots have become so tight it's virtually impossible to win. They don't even tease you to allow a little bit of fun. Snatching a twenty dollar bill on a penny machine in less than 10 minutes. Nobody has a smile on their face of having an enjoyable time. Casino's are on a greed run. Update 8/14//2022 new owners the same old story, the same old song and dance. The casino still is trash, the horse racing is nothing but third rate horses, low purses, with a tired bunch of drunks smoking cigarettes. Update July 17, 2023 The casino is done many of the machines are so wore out they're missing buttons. The racetrack is the absolute worst case scenario, just the same old regular drunken slobs getting drunker chain smoking cigarettes. If this how the owner intends to draw out of town visitors good luck. I'd bet the horses are planning a take over. 6/3/2024 the track is terrible, downstairs just a bunch of tired old cigarette smoking drunks making $2.00 bets. The quality of horses is not much different other than the horses are not drinking or smoking! 7/6/2024 The Inside Rail Sports Bar & Grill immaculate, but the food is just mediocre. Whomever decided the menu is nothing short of an idiot. Chicken fried steak with no mashed potatoes or rice & gravy? They offer some canned hog slop called "loaded mashed potatoes".🤮 They try to up-charge on everything, no substitutions. Everything is frozen bulls****! 12/19/2024 It's really a shame how this place is run, can the owner not find any qualified help to oversee this place? I surely hope he's not running it himself, because if he is, he needs to use a totally different marketing approach, before "LIVE" casino opens up and puts his 20 million dollar Mickey Mouse operation out of business! Hanging out with the big fish in the small pond crowd at "Christmas In The Sky" is not going to save you Kevin. You need to realize those people couldn't careless about you and they patronize another casino. 12/26/2024 In response to the question as to why I revisit places and give updates, I'll give two answers. (1) I'm a upper level Google guide with over 48 million plus views of my pictures and reviews. I provide truthful accurate information to your potential visitors who make their decision to visit your property based on my review . (2) It's obvious that I struck a nerve, so maybe you should correct the things I pointed out, in order to make a significant difference in my next review by making it more positive . Your property is clean and well maintained. If things change for better or worse I'll review it and report it appropriately. The kind & courteous servers are helpless having to deal with unhappy patrons. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ¤®

Perfect entertainment venue if you are into slots and horse racing. You can go outside or sit inside in the air conditioned stadium seats. One day of the week, I believe was Tuesday was Dollar Day. Dollar Beer, Hot Dogs and Popcorn. I think the race schedule was just a buck as well. And the best part is that you can walk straight from the racing grounds right into the casino in air conditioning , via a Fuddruckers' Hamburgers with reasonable prices right in between the venues! Only complaint is that the website is not updated about any schedule changes such as live racing dates and post times. We drove in from the Dallas area one Sunday morning because the website said that there were races going on that day, only to find out when we got there that Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were the actual race dates for that particular week.

The New Years family event was great and the fireworks were even better. The kids had a blast with the dancing and live music. Only reason that they are not going to receive 5 stars from this review is because my wife lost her keys and they got turned in. So we walked to the stand where we were told to collect them from and when my wife and so. We’re walking up behind me the security guard unnecessarily yelled at her and my son. There is plenty of cameras that it can be reviewed. I have worked in some high security locations and was never treated that way. There is stages on how to handle situations. This individual doesn’t need to be in that position if he can’t handle it without having a power trip and forget how to treat guest.

This casino is a slum . Service is a joke . Machines are always broken. Food is so low quality but at 5star prices. Spend thousands a week but never receive any promotions . They give free coffee as your reward but coffee shop is never opened. It's not safe shady looking men will follow you to every machine and security does not care to ask them to leave clearly they aren't playing. They have one cocktail server on weekends cash machines are always out of cash. The employees are beyond rude. Not all some are great. The owner is a slumlord because he won't try to improve this casino. He took a decent place an made it a trashy lowgrade unsafe casino. Security is geriatric some use actual walkers . Stay away from here at night It's not worth being followed by schetchy people . Should be a law that police have to be employed at casino at night .I've been gambling there for many many years . And your casino doesn't give anyone anything no freeplay but maybe 2-4 times a month if you're lucky an then it's 5 bucks. I play highlimits 10 a spin most times . I never get anything from casino so I don't bother with a card anymore it's not worth using it anymore. Food is a joke I watched them throw a customers foor back in fried after customer had it at table health hazard 100%. Employees most are unfriendly, just rude. I know and have good relationships with the friendly ones. Bathroom attendees are hiding in there on phone and bathrooms are out of paper ,dirty sad.and the shady men following women around never playing any machine . Waiting to snatch something. Heck 2 security bosses are amazing one is the lady who has since been changed back to her normal shift. And the man who's been security at casinos since day one in 94 /96 . Small Frame always saying hello helping customers . The rest are a joke pretty much. So don't blow smoke . You don't give 2 cents about casino you've been there what 3 maybe 4 times only because gaming board had issues. You play no music it's quiet people want music fun,energy being a dealer since 96 customers want friendly service. They are giving hard earned money and want to be treated like they pay your bills . After all they do to a point. Comp your loyal customers. And when u have drawings it's always the people who don't gamble just drink an wait to win drawing and it's always one not the actual gamblers . We go to a good casino now where...

I’m very upset with my experience as a Diamond Plus Player through Caesars Rewards. I visited Harrahs Louisiana Downs on May 3, 2021. Upon my arrival the cashier Alexis I spoke with informed me that they were instructed to close the grill down for cleaning . It was 10:15pm when I arrived and according to the Fudruckers website, the restaurant was to close at 12am. She also told me that the restaurant actually closes at 11pm and her and the MOD Devontae aka Tae was instructed by the General Manager Rachel to clean the grill early and that they need to be off the clock by 11pm which included cleaning of everything. I’m a little irritated with the inconvenience and inconsistency of service. I spend a large amount of money with Caesars Entertainment and the partnership with Fudruckers at Harrahs LA downs seems to be lackluster.

I can possibly understand shutting down your grill 15-20 min before, prior to closing, but this is unacceptable closing down 45 min before. Please address this issue with the appropriate person and or persons. Again I’m very disappointed with the lack of service along with the leadership the staff at this located has been appointed to follow. Please have someone from higher management contact me because this is absurd and inconvenient.

And by the way, I’m writing this review while still standing in the lobby right outside of Fudruckers at Louisiana Downs and it is 10:37pm central. Which means you are still supposed to be...
